The dash cam never blinks

Exploding meteorites? Crazy drivers and desperate scam artists? Bigfoot by the side of the road? Tornado on the horizon? You'll want some high-definition video of those, preferably with the time and date recorded as well. As you cruise around on your daily adventures, Cobra's CDR 810 Dash Cam will record all that and more, so you can watch and listen to the drive again later, played on your computer or television.

Ready, set, record

You'll find everything you need to get set up and and recording with this package. A clever suction cup mount holds the camera/recorder firmly on your windshield, adjusting to aim the camera where you want. An 8 GB MicroSD memory card comes already installed in the card slot, allowing you to record up to 55 minutes of 1080P HD video right away. The card slot can accommodate up to a 32 GB memory card for longer recordings. The CDR 810 comes set up to start recording as soon as you start your car, so you'll never miss an important event because you forgot to turn the camera on.

Accessories included

The cigarette lighter power adapter comes with a 12-foot cord, which is enough so you can drape it neatly around your windshield for a stealthy installation, instead of having the cord dangle straight down. You can view your recordings on the 2" LCD screen, but you'll better experience the high-def quality of the picture when you show it on a larger display. The package includes a USB cable and an audio/video cable adapter to connect your CDR 810 to a television or a computer.

Recording

The CDR 810 features continuous loop recording which records over the oldest files so you don't waste data storage with insignificant video clips. Pushing the File Lock button saves the sections you want to keep for downloading or editing. A built-in microphone records the video soundtrack — the music you're playing on the radio, or your narration, road-enraged or not, of what's happening as you're driving. You can even rotate the camera and record the official business or shenanigans going on inside your vehicle.

And more

A photograph mode allows you to snap stills, while a motion sensor mode automatically records anything that moves — perfect for spotting parking lot hit and run incidents. The G-Sensor mode automatically saves a recording when it senses that there's been an accident. Infrared LED "headlights" help the camera see better at night.

Warning: The use of this device and/or a windshield mount may be restricted in some states or jurisdictions.

better images. You can apply -2EV to +2EV in 0.5 EV increments.

Infrared LEDs: The camera uses 4 infrared LEDs around the
lens to allow you to record both day and night.

Time/Date Stamp: As the CDR 810 records, a time/date stamp is embedded on all

old footage when the card becomes full until you save it. A built-in G-Sensor can detect when a collision
has occurred and will automatically save your recording.

video output. With the supplied AV cable, you can view your videos/photos on a

Great for the first year

This was my 2nd dash cam I've ever owned. This unit has been (relatively) easy to use. As others have noted, the menu system is somewhat confusing, but I was able to make it work. One lesson I've learned from this device and other suction-cup based mounts for other devices: They do not last. My next dash cam will have an adhesive attached mount to the windshield. I took down the suction-cup mount for this camera anytime I was parked out under the sun, but left it up overnight in the garage. Even with this bit of care, it still failed within 6 months. (Sidenote: Be careful about the suction cup failing and dropping the camera. That's what killed my last dash cam, when it landed on the USB power cord connector, snapping it off). What I did to solve this was I tore off the suction cup and filled the cavity with Bondo to give it a solid surface. Then I used some permanent outdoor adhesive tape to attach it to the windshield. It's stayed up there like a champ ever since. The slow death-march has continued, though, in that the image is permanently upside down. I'm not sure when this exactly happened, but I can't get it right-side up again. Yes, I'm aware of the "Rotate" setting in the menus, and that has no effect. I've tried the Reset options, and it's still broken. There's also no firmware updates available on the website. Also, the colors are all washed out too, now. I've reached out to Cobra support. I have low expectations of a fix.

Pros:Easy to use, automatic recording at power on, loop recording, auto-screen off setting

Don't Waste Money

Fine product for the price point

Written By TGL, Virginia on Saturday, December 27, 2014

The CDR 810 dash cam met my expectations in video quality and usability. I had read some reviews on the model and they had prepared me for the weak user manual, but more user information can be found at the Cobra Electronics website in the faq section. The button logic takes some practice, but becomes fairly intuitive after some use. Video quality is fine for my wants/needs. The dark colors do appear a bit purplish, and the viewing range is as mentioned (can read plates about one car length back but not always). The overall picture is very good for replaying a fun drive, a track day, or an off-roading trip. The price drew me in, since I had been considering a GoPro, but not enough to pay several hundred dollars. I don't need the all-weather ruggedness of a GoPro since it will be inside my vehicle. The Cobra has some nice features such as the G-sensor, still camera features, adjustable video clip lengths, camera rotation, strong mount (might be too strong as it is hard to remove once put together), 1080P resolution, small size, and a nice LCD screen. I purchased from Crutchfield because I trust their stock and they are a great resource for researching my purchases.

Cobra CDR 810 Dash Cam

Seems to work ok, you will want to go with a 32 GB 10 speed card with this, much more recording time. Video looks good on my laptop when I play it back. Crutchfield sells really good quality electronics, that's why I knew I couldn't go wrong buying this. Can't have a better witness if ever in a accident.

Pros:Great playback video, 1080p is really nice and clear. No better witness if ever in a accident!!

Cons:Have to buy a 32 GB 10 speed sd card if you want a longer video time

Cobra CDR 810 Dash Cam

Its a nice product I've been using for the last two weeks its a little hard to understand and get to the menu but once you get there its downhill it records when the car starts moving its a great feature the only thing I would do is get a larger memory card since the one that comes with it won't last a day without recording over it.

Cobra CDR 810

Overall excellent. One of the better windshield suction mounts, although it did come off once during extreme hot weather. Video quality is excellent even at night without use of any illumination other than headlights. But keep in mind that though it is technically capable of full HD recording, detail is limited by the wide angle and a small sensor, so don't expect to be able to read registration plates. If that ever becomes an issue, I would imagine that a forensic video lab would be able to enhance it enough to read the numbers. Have had it for several months now and it has been working flawlessly. At this price, it's unbeatable.

Nice dashcam!

Very compact and lightweight dashcam, nice suction mount keeps it unobtrusive. The power wire is plenty long to reach around the windshield to a power port. Setting it up is a little bit of trial and error, since the instruction manual is bare bones. The manual doesnt even describe what the blinking lights are, but I deciphered them to be "blinking blue-camera on;" "blinking red-battery charging;" "blinking green- mic recorder on." I found in order to enter the menu to set time and date and access other features you have to turn the mic button to OFF. Accessing the video is a little clunky too but it seems to be saving it OK. Image quality is good and it has a nice wide view of the road ahead. As far as long term reliability its too early to judge, but I only deducted one star for the lousy instruction manual. For the price its a winner.

Cobra Dash Cam

Works very well as advertised, menu a little confusing and very little info in the enclosed manual so need to experiment with settings. Set for auto record when car starts, 10 minute files and microphone on. Had less than a month but am satisified so far, enough to order another CDR-810 for my other car to eliminate having to move back and forth.

Cbra CDR 810

The Cobra dash cam was my final choice after reserching a few other brands. After a couple of weeks using it every day, I new that was the right choice. The videos were clear even at nights. The fact that I could use it outside of the car is a pluse.

Cobra CDR 810 dashcam

The unit itself is small, I would guess to some how avoid window obstruction tickets. Screen is very small, if you mount near rear view mirror you have to take it off mount to really see anything on video you record. The mount is all plastic, you place plastic rectangular piece of mount into back of camera unit and push very hard to slide into place, almost broke first few times I removed camera and at first was almost impossible to remove camera from mount . Now that I have wiggled it around a bit it has gotten better but still poor design and I see it breaking one day. navigating menu is little confusing but once you do it a few times you get used to it. I use 1080p mode up to about 10 feet very clear make out license plates, files get big I use 32gb for 3-4 hour video/audio With minisd memory cards and because of the slots small design and a strong spring system holding card , I have to use dime, to push on card in a tiny recess slot ,enough so it pops out. Maybe small child can do it . Night video is limited by light available i.e. headlights, clear 5-10 ft , infrared lights to me have no effect The big problem I have is that my camera records a piece of video then stops and starts a new video on its own. In this start and stop method there is a gap +/- 5 seconds. So far nothing important has really happened but gap is there. I have played with cycle time setting has not helped. I am experimenting with this camera daily , will update if anything changes

Cobra CDR-810 Dash Cam

It works quite well and I was quite satisfied with it until I played back the video on my television and afterword the video on the unit itself wouldn't stay on. The tech I called had no answer so I had to return it.

Pros:It records well.

Cons:The "manual" that came with it is of little use, you have to learn on your own.

Cobra CDR 810 Dash Cam

So far I'm impressed with the camera. I own a 4Runner and the dash is very steep near the lower corners of the window so it is hard to mount on the lower left or right, but it is small enough to mount on the upper left of my windshield. Haven't gotten pulled over yet for obsructed views, but the camera is so small it doesn't matter. I love that I can access all of the data on my computer and capture an incident as I drive by pressing a button. I would totally recommend buying a larger SD card so you have better resolution and time loops, like a Micro 16GB.

Pros:Small, easy to use and you can turn off the audio recording. I really did not want to tell everyone that got into my truck that they were being recorded ( by law) so I was happy to see on the menu you can turn off the audio.

Cons:My one complaint is trying to access the main menu. The menu button is unresponsive a lot. I was just following the directions. I am not the only one with that complaint but if I hit other buttons first, then it opens eventually. A glitch that needs to be fixed, or I'ts me. I don't know what is up with that. But I still would totally recommend this to friends.
